>About 10 or 15 years ago, scientists did tests on snake oil, and found it to contain many essential fatty acids,
Do you know what 'Snake Oil' really is?
The word/term 'Snake Oil' is a bastardization of the term 'Seneca Oil', which was sold in teh early 1800s in America as a curative first discovered by the Seneca Indians of Pennsylvania.
Ahem......
IT'S CRUDE OIL!!!!!
The ancient wise medicine men of the Seneca tribe (none of whom were named Jed Clampett ;-) found this strange substance bubbling up from the ground, and used it a salve and magic potion fer whut ails ye. They convinced the white man of its healing powers, and thus we have Seneca/snake oil.
